For all those who made Bind-4.9.4-P1 ELF shared libraries
& want to compile gated, follow these instructions & adding
-lresolv to LDFLAGS in src/configs/LINUX-i486.conf,
as well as the 'mkdep' instructions below...
Stephen , Following the instructions for patching & the below
plus the above has been a successful build, Now we proceed to
the testing stage of this wonderful adventure.... Tnx, JimL
PS If it's alright with you I'll put together a step by step
instructions for the un-initiated... ;-)) like me ....
